The Steelworkers Humanity Fund (SHF) is a registered Canadian Charity that receives the majority of its funds from members of the United Steelworkers of Canada (USW). For over 35 years, the SHF has supported international development projects; provided emergency humanitarian aid; organized learning exchanges between workers; and conducted advocacy and campaigns on international issues, including sustainable development and community education, upholding labour rights and women's rights. Under its corporate accountability program, the SHF oversees the work of the Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability (CNCA). Formed in 2005, the CNCA seeks to ensure that the human rights of all peoples are respected by Canadian corporations operating internationally.

Organization's membership or classes of membership

The SHF does not have a membership base per se, and funds its activities mainly through USW member donations through clauses negotiated into their collective agreements. In some cases, employers make matching contributions to the Fund. Under the SHF corporate accountability program, the CNCA unites 40 environmental, human rights, religious, labour and solidarity groups from across Canada. The network members have long-standing close relationships with impacted communities, human rights and environmental defenders, Indigenous peoples and workers from every corner of the world.
